ESIaZa of CoI0red Lights

The street illumination last evening proved
great success, although on account of the
intense cold the gas in some places did not
work SO well as desired. The illum m nations
extend along the regular carnival line of
march and on Fifth, Tnlrd, Jackson, Seventh.
Sibley, Robert, Wabasha, st. Peter and Min
nesota streets. There are twenty-six arches
in all, eleven of them being double, stan ding
on the four corners at the intersection of the
streets. On Third street from Wabasha to Sib-
ley there are running arches on both
sides and pyramids of lights every so feet.
On Jackson. Sibley, Wabasha Robert and
Minnesota streets pyramid os lights, about
20 each, is placed on each lamp post. All the
framework for the illumnatious is made of
gas pipe, and jets are placed as near each
other as possible, surmounted by globes of
different colors. Each globe is protected by
patent tin canopy, so that there is no dam
ger of the light being eXtinpushed by the
wind. Along the line of illuminations the
ii onrs of buildings are very generally deco
rated with flags and bunting, the whole CIV
ing the streets perfect holiday appearance.
There are 10000 gas jets in all, and the effect
of the illumination is

stretching into the distance, each ablaze
with its numerous colors, proved the prInci-
pal features Despite the intense cold, the
mercury being away below zero, thousands
and thousands of people turned out to wit
ness the effect. Sidewalks were thronred
with pedestrians, and the streets were filled
with turnouts of all kinds, many people ap-
pearing in their carnival suits and adding
much to the picture. Undoubtedly the finest
part of the illumination is on Third street
and from point on the turn of the hill near
Cedar street the best view was obtainable
Apparently as far as the eve could reach
there was succession of varl-colored lights
on either side, and over head it seemed as if
the street was canopied in red, blue, green
and amber, the diversity Ct arrangement in
the different arches giving the appearance of
one great mass Of colored light. Over the

ninety-six incandescent electric lights 1n
fanciful designs. and at the Robert street

The Gettysburg panorama.

The splendid new panorama of the Battle
of Gettysburg. at the corner of Sixth and
st. Peter streets. ST. Paul, is still attracting
large crowds OF delighted visitors. The
picture represents the third days decisive
action, which took place on the afternoon
OF July 5. 1868. 1t was painted by artists
who spent months on the site of the battle,
and thoroughly posted themselves as to the
location OF troops, the landscape and other
details of the fight as it actually took place.
BY such panstaking care they were enabled
to reproduce the action and maneuvers of
that dreadful day, so that looking upon
the work. we cannot realize that we are
gazing only upon the mechanical effects of
paint and brush and canvas. The area of
the picture is 20. 200 square feet, and over
two tons of paint were used in its construc-
ton. The wonderful blending OF realistic
effects in the foreground so deceives the eye
that one cannot, without the closest study
separate the real from the unreal. or trace
the dividing line where the canvas begins
and the actual ends.

The toboggan slides were formally opened
yesterday. They were gay With the many
colored uniforms of the various carnival

slope with their wives and daughters, and the
proud beau, arrayed in his varied colored
fannes, skilfuy steered his toboggan down
the slide while some maiden sat before him,
conscious that she was safe from ali danger.
The school children, to the humber of several
hundreds, were also enjoying the pleasure of
the slide. and the lad Of ii leaned as gallanty
over the shoulders of his sweetheart of as
did his elder brother of 20 over his darling of
10. The snow was cleaned from the slides
early in the day, and at evening they were in
good condition. Manager Van 81 Ike, as he

CHIEF GRAIN INSPECTOR.
Ehe Appointment to be Made To.
Morrow by the Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioners.

On Wednesday the new railroad commits
sion will meet, and according to present pro-
gramme appoint chief inspector of grain to
succeed J. A. James, who has held that posi-
tion since the resignation of Inspector Bur-
dick some weeks ago. The lnspe ttor draws
salary of $4,000 per year, and appoints his
own deputies, subject to the approval of the
warehouse commissioners. Among those in
Serested there has been considerable of
scramble for the chief inspectorship. Mr..
James is a candidate for the appointment and
his claims have been strongly urged by
friends who think that as he has served some
weeks as chief, the plum should fall to him.
Prior to the resignation of Mr.. Burdck, Mr..
James was state inspector al St. Paul. A. C.
Clausen, the state inspector at Minneapolis,
is also candidate for the chief Inspector
ship. He has strong backing, and while
the commissioners have not given out any
thing to that effect, it is rumored that Mr..
Oausen is the lucky man. Little of def
nIte nature as TO the minor inspectorships
can be learned until after the action of the
commission tomorrow is known.
